An upper body lift, also known as a bra line lift or back lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin and excess fat in the upper and mid-back (much where a bra strap lies). This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or genetic predisposition to loose skin in these areas.
An upper body lift removes excess skin and fat, improving upper back contours and reducing the appearance of a “bra bulge”.
Downtime typically ranges from 5-7 days, with restrictions on strenuous activity and submerging in water for 6 weeks.
Noticeable improvements are visible shortly after surgery, with results continuing to develop and improve for at least 12 months post-op.
It's important to remember that these are general guidelines. Always check in with your provider and follow their specific guidelines for your unique anatomy and treatment.
